Only Question of Time.

York Associated Press, 1887 THE
Kreus Zeitung says mixed feeling OF
disgust and pity is aroused by the pres
ent state of France. The conviction is
gradually growing that the efforts OF
those who undertook by quietness and
common sense to refrain from adding

put on French malcontents. Under this
system arrests and expulsions are in
creasing. DEGREES issued by Prince
Hohanlohe, Governor of Alsace--
Lorraine, revoke the functions OF
Mayor Humbert, of Buschhorn.
Among the notable e1pulsions are
those of Herr Deligny, managing
director of the .Schiltigheim factory
or Treves, from Metz: Owl
Engineer Remiel, from Benfield
and two brothers named SchwitkharGt
cabinet makers, from Strasburg.
The Metz Gazette announces that the
authorities will dissolve all societies and
clubs refusing to admit Germans, and
will endeavor to enforce the exclusive
use of German as the official language
taught at Alsace Lorraine.
